Life can give us massive blows. We don’t get to write our stories. God does that. When I get down, it is usually because I am discouraged in what I can not see as good. I can’t see where God is going with the plot or even see the full story God is writing. And [...]
We are very neat people, both of us, and because of that we could be tidying and doing projects every second of every day. Failing miserably at connecting relationally we would be organized and task driven but then what is the point of that? I mean really? What is the point? The fact that my counters [...]
Tennis is a fascinating sport. I seldom watch it at home but ironically it is the one thing I leave on the hotel TV when traveling. I love watching all the court staff, ball boys/girls, and referees that surround the 2 marquee players in any given match. There is so much going on before and [...]
